Alice In Wonderland : Side-by-Side Comparison (Before & After 2014 Refurbishment) - Disneyland

Side-by-Side video comparison of 'Alice in Wonderland' before and after the 2014 refurbishment. Having the Before and After videos next to each other really lets you notice and appreciate all the big and small changes Disney brought to the ride.

Leave a comment and let me know what your favorite change to the ride is. I love the new Tea Party ending and the extra Alice figures they added in the ride.

Make sure to visit Disneyland soon so you can experience 'Alice in Wonderland' in person.

Thanks for watching! Your 'Likes' and 'Comments' on my videos mean the world to me. You guys ROCK!

Wishing you a 'Very Happy Unbirthday!'

Although the refurb is definiely more pleasing to the eye, Disney is constantly making the same mistakes for the dynamics of their movie rides. Before 1994, Snow White's Scary Adventure was not very successful with younger riders. This is because the evil witch would appear everywhere, and it lacked the comforting prince and sidekick characters. But most of all, people wondered where was Snow White. Many people did know that YOU, the rider, WAS Snow White. It was your adventure, and it put YOU through Snow White's eyes. Most people are unable to comprehend that, and prefer to spectate Snow White's life, rather than be in it. The same goes for Alice in Wonderland. Notice how your car was saying all of the dialogue of Alice? That is because she is supposed to be YOU. With the revamp, you are once again just spectating Alice's life, rather than being apart of it.

The old Cheshire Cat had better animation, but worse color

Love the new one, except for the very first scene. The twisted corridor was better than a projection.

[thetwistedsamurai]

Love the renovation except for the fact that they removed the Cheshire head at the end. That was always my favorite part, cause I'd always grin back at him as wide as I could. :(

[KarstensCreationsKC]

ALL good improvements...

EXCEPT losing the long smokey 'dream tunnel' with the Cheshire Cat 'wobbly head' at the end of it, that they used to have (at the very end)...I LOVE how goofy and trippy that looked...oh well...:)

[jennabarg]

I don't personally like that Alice is in the scenes now. I enjoyed that the riders were Alice.

[Nallenator]

I like the renovations, but it was more magical and engaging to let the riders take the place of Alice. Adding her in the ride takes that away.

[haroof]

Disney really hit it out of the park with this renovation. The ride looks stunning.

[PeterBenedetto]

It's a shame some of the small details from the original ride didn't stay, but the new ones over shadow them immensely making this ride absolutely amazing.

[liirthropp]

I feel that the "outside garden" portion before the Hatter scene should have had reconstruction to be indoors and fit another scene there or extend the Hatter scene there rather than just swivel around leaves.

[screaminsider]

Wow, this renovation is great. It's nice to see Disney putting new life in classic rides.

The old one is definitely better although I think it partly might just be because it's nostalgic to see the old one. Brings back childhood memories and feelings. The new one is still good and I like it a lot actually! I like that there is a little more of Alice in the ride but the old one just has a different vibe to it. I am not a fan of all the projected screen stuff they're doing on these dark rides tbh but again it's a nostalgia thing and as beautiful as the old Disneyland is, it has to change with the times which means rides need to change and be more "high tech" like.

I like the new version a lot better because it had projections, more Alice audio-animatronic figures, and a different but GREAT interior. To me, the old version is AWFULLY familiar and overwhelming.

[WubbaWrite]

This was so much fun to see the old and the new side by side. I love the added animation. Can hardly wait to see the new Peter Pan! Thanks for posting this! :-)

[RiverNaiad]

Can you post a side-by-side comparison (before and after) of Peter Pan's Flight 2015 refurbishment?

[antele]

Thanks for the video - but here's a kind suggestion: If your going to another "Before & After" video....which suggests "Left to Right", then maybe you should produce your final videos as a visual eye aid for seeing "Before" as we visually know is to our LEFT, and the "After" to the RIGHT. It's normally what our brain translates. I originally fast forwarded the beginning and didn't like the "After", thinking it was on the RIGHT side. :)

[ded]

Am I the only one who likes the old one better..?

[BroadwayGalGA]

Terrific! I can see the "old" version that I remember and compare it to the changes - which I liked. Glad they added Alice herself to the ride. Thanks from a Disney nerd!

[soradeatheater]

we tried getting on this ride but they told us it was filled with bees.

[tzaharasykes]

I like it except for the beginning with the projection ceilings and the fact tht they took out Cheshire cat face from the end :(
